Crobot, a four-piece groove rock band, mixed with hippy and stoner rock, took to the Main Stage at Shaun Morgan's Rise Above Festival in Bangor, Maine on July 22, 2017. They did what they always do and completely shocked the audience. Brandon Yeagley's voice is chilling to say the least with his piercing range and incredible lungs. The stage presence is never lost with these guys, as guitarist Chris Bishop always has a smile on his face and usually takes Brandon for a ride on his shoulders. … [Read more...]

Originating from Pottsville, Pennsylvania, Crobot is a band made up of four groovy characters that throwback to what rock was meant to be. Currently promoting their latest CD, Welcome to Fat City, Shockwave got the chance to sit down with drummer Paul Figueroa and discuss everything from European tours to Shiprocked’s slide. Check out the video … [Read more...]

During 2016, we saw some stellar bands rise to the top. From covers to arenas (I Prevail, anyone?) these bands beat the odds and shed the hate, and made their names the biggest on the roster. Now it makes us pause and think about what bands will do the same for 2017. Shockwave decided to take a stab at predicting our Breakout Bands of 2017. Here are our nominations:
Robin Ervolina
My prediction for the breakout band of 2017 is Blessing A Curse a genre-defying metal/rock … [Read more...]

Here is why you need to jump on the Groove Train with Crobot.

1). The Band.

The now two-day festival took place in Chester, PA September 17th and 18th. It was so much fun! Mother nature was kind to all of us and kept the rain away, so everyone could enjoy every band they wanted to see. Set up on three different stages (two on the main field and one side stage), it was extremely easy to navigate and get to where you wanted to go. Complete with full service bars and all the Gourmet Man Food you could ask for, this … [Read more...]

Hard rock juggernauts, Sevendust, made their second stop in less than four months to The World Famous Machine Shop in Flint, MI. Frontman Lajon Witherspoon joked about it during the show, asking the crowd, "Weren't we just here like 5 weeks ago?" Considering this was in fact another sold out show, I don't think the crowd minded one bit! One of the things that make the Machine Shop such a great experience is the ability to see your favorite band in such an intimate setting.
First up on the … [Read more...]

Don’t miss Crobot’s set at Louder Than Life. I’m not kidding. If you’ve never seen them perform live, you are in for a musical, physical, sensual blast, like two planets colliding.

Inspired by sci-fi, comic books, and stories of the supernatural, frontman Brandon Yeagley, guitarist Chris Bishop, drummer Paul Figueroa and his brother, bassist Jake Figueroa, spin an audience around a venue in a whirlwind of music and motion, … [Read more...]

Call it Music Moonshine: Crobot debut slimy new track, "Play It Cool"
streaming on Crave
"Crobot is what you get when you brew some down n' dirty rock n’ roll, swaggering blues, doom-y, but not gloomy metal and sir psycho sexy funk. Call it music moonshine, concocted in a trailer park and best served in three-minute batches that make you feel like you have to take a shower when they’re done with you."
